Jurassic Park!
These last ten days or so have been tedious. The amount of guesswork, pandering and second rate hope masquerading as inside info has been on the abundant side of shameful. As a countermeasure against this 'cobblers various' I'm passing on this little lot from a source that is a rareity these days... one actually in a position to comment, TT Dave.
One player is done and dusted and should be announced once his visa has been formalised, that player is Pavluchenko.
The man who came in from the cold, went back out again and then came out again, Arshavin will be announced soon too. Zenit contacted us at the weekend and said they would accept our £16m bid.
Huntelaar bid was lodged at the weekend and Ajax have said they are willing to do business but wages are a problem, he wants big money. We are looking for sponsor assistance but are very hopeful this will happen.
Finally....the Veloso deal has finally been agreed, this has been ongoing for weeks but deal struck early yesterday evening.
All passed on in good faith from a senior bod within the PLC's 'financial side'. I trust this is in part, a suitable antidote to the misdirection and despair.
BIOYC!
Harry my little parsnip cheers diamond.
well diamonte.
If you're right then kudos. If you aren't....well that's my patience exceeding it's limit with you and others like you. No offence, but it's been one of those summers.
We've had someone from Ajax state that no contact has been made regarding huntelaar!!!! Explain. Quicker Monday comes the better people like you just frustrate
H, if all that comes true I'm on for a wankathon
good job we're giving everyone a headstart if all these lads are signing!!
Awesome news - especially about Veloso
If this is all true then all hail Levy and Ramos - Fuck the Sulky Bulgarian off and let's turn this season around..

Why is everything so quiet at Spurs today?
Surprised everything is taking SO long...
Are they waiting to unveil everyone together?
Also, if Veloso is done, how come he played 90 for Sporting last night in a friendly match?
Happy days if that's the case...and there is some truth in the Huntelaar rumors also...magic...pure ridiculously spursesque magic
BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE THEM IN A SPURS SHIRT , STILL NEED FALCAO AND CORLUKA THEN !!!!!!!!!!!
Personally i can only see us signing Arshavin and maybe Corulka
If this is true Harry, you are the man. If not, I'll sort you out cyber-style. But I would much prefer to see Huntelaar than Arshavin tbh. Harry I want an opinion. Papers have been saying that the Huntelaar price tag has put us off but I dont understand why? I would much rather have him then Arshavin who lets face it, is not an out-and-out goalscorer. I know Huntelaar wont come to us, but would you rather pay upwards of 20million for a younger, more prolific goalscorer, or upwards of 20 million for an older, less prolific forward. Despite what the papers say, I cant understand why a 20 million price tag would put Spurs off, if we are willing to pay that kind of money for Arshavin. Then again, papers are probably saying that to cover their tracks by saying that we were preparing a bid for Huntelaar anyway when we never did/will..However, we should go all out to sign this guy. His goals-to-game ratio is unmatched and he seems like the perfect replacement for Berbatov. Him and Pav upfront sounds more appealing to me than Pav and Smoothbum.
Something of a coup Harry; both for your site and THFC. Just the pick-me-up this beleaguered Spurs fan needed. The old "we're only 3 points behind you" gag isn't going to deflect my gooner mates' banter much longer, especially with Chelsea away next up. Let's just hope Veloso and Arshavin are up for a physical battle in the league.
Signings will probably be revealed at 11.59pm on Sunday. 3 more days of this sh*t! I think they'll sign 5 players inc Pav!
Harry is there aliens? and will tottenham sign one??
veloso yes arshavin..... maybe, pav? who really cares? very very overrated & tel me the last succesful russian in prem? we r barking up wrong tree wiv the russians arshavin mite do ok but not gna b the signing were hoping 4, huntelaar? not a chance in hell, y wud he giv up CL football? madrid r gna go back & offer more neway, we meed a bloody CB!! corluka should b priority after veloso, seems we got pav so lets get defence sorted 1st then go back 2 attackers, if this comes off wot u say then i will run down my street naked coz it just aint gna happen sorry, COYS

Hi to dare is to do: I think the last Russian was Andre Kanchelskis,
Harry Hotspur ..you disgrace the name. I remember how much you boasted after the Bentley deal finally came through. All in all, 99.9% of what you say is utter bullsh't and no one should take this seriously.
This is all an over active imagination of a 17 year old boy sitting in his breadroom.
This is super news indeed. But does it mean the end for Bent? More importantly, I hope that it means that vice-captain Jenas now drops to the bench, he's shit and is holding us back. What will the formation be if we do indeed get all four?
----------- Gomes -----------------
Hutton -- Woodgate -- King -- Bale
----------- Veloso ----------------
Bentley --- Modric ------ Arshavin
---- Pavlyuchenko ---- Huntelaar
Bench: Cesar, Huddlestone (cover CB), Gilberto, Jenas, Lennon, Bent, Dos Santos.
Given that Pavlyuchenko is cup-tied for the UEFA Cup, it makes more sense to push for Huntelaar than for Pavlyuchenko. As much as I hope, I cannot see Spurs buying all three strikers (although they may then play Arshavin on the left wing).
we also need decent cover for King because Dawson is also bloody useless.
Given how desperately Everton are looking for players, we should try to flog Jenas to them for 10m and Dawson to them for 5m. Keagan may be another who may bite for these two.
Hi Harry
For once I hope you are right. A fellow Spurs fan here in SA also let know that he knowns someone closely connected to the club and surprise, surprise, the very four names you mentioned: Pav, Ashavin, Huntelaar and Veloso came up together with Corluka. The Huntelaar deal was a bit iffy, but Ashavin,Veloso and Corluka a very strong possibility. So we should be all settled in for the Villa game. Spurs till I die or when Mugabe goes!!!
A word of caution re: Huntelaar -
For every Van Nistlerooy, there seems to be a Kezman AND a Kuyt (both strikers we were heavily linked with before their premier league arrival).
Of course some strikers just don't fit certain teams - look at Sutton great everywhere he played except Chelsea, yet he will always be thought of as a huge flop it would seem.
Of course we might get Huntelaar and he might be phenomenal (as I would expect) but I do see it being a repeat of our current Berbatov situation in two years time (should we not have reached our "promised" land)...
So enjoy him if and while he comes, and no crying when he decides he wants to ditch us for a wealthier sugardaddy!
